The new Focus RS: you’ll either love it …or really, really love it. Based on the new Focus ST, beneath the athletic exterior lies a formidable power unit and advanced racing technology. A wider track, turbocharged 305PS engine and advanced suspension mean it will accelerate from 0-100km/h in 5.9 seconds, with its performance more than matching those stunning looks. Ford kinetic Design shapes its dynamic exterior, and the exclusive ‘Ultimate’ green coachwork, updates the classic 1970s Ford Le Mans Green – contrasting brilliantly with black detailing to produce an eye-catching, contemporary look.
Because this is an overview of the new Ford Focus RS some features mentioned below may be standard across the range whilst others may be optional extras or available only on selected models. For specific details please download the new Focus RS eBrochure or contact your Ford Dealer.
Turbocharged engine
Redesigned and rebuilt, this five-cylinder power unit delivers amazing performance, living up to the expectations of the RS badge.
Bodystyling
Everything about the Focus RS design prepares you for what to expect from its performance. At the front there’s a deep airdam incorporating a black, meshed grille. This design is seen again under the black-framed chrome xenon headlamps, giving the car an aggressive, feline look. Fog lamps are set into the front quarter panels, while RS-badged black vents sit behind the flared wheel arches. The bonnet houses two louvred vents: authentic racing features that ensure the correct system temperature is maintained.
At the rear, a deep bumper mirrors that of the front, and incorporates a large venturi tunnel. At each side, a vent accentuates the car’s wide stance, while two chromed exhaust protrude from beneath the pronounced bumper. To complete the racing look we’ve also equipped it with a twin-blade black RS spoiler that dominates its athletic rear.
Interior styling
The interior is designed with driving enthusiasts in mind. Special Recaro high-performance sports seats ensure you get the right support, while sculpted rear seats, with higher side bolsters mean passengers can also enjoy a livelier ride in comfort.
Interior colours complement the exterior with ebony leather accents, plus RS and Recaro logos stitched into the backrests of each seat. Doorsill scuff plates also feature the RS logo.
We’ve taken the Focus ST cockpit and added flourishes and accents in brushed aluminium. The centre console is finished in carbon-look trim with three gauges located on it, all angled towards the driver’s eye line.
Commitment to the future
As well as designing cars that look good and perform well, we are continually developing and perfecting our engines so they’re as kind to the environment as possible.
We also recycle material by making all the noise insulation in our vehicles from used denim jeans and reclaimed upholstery. And wherever we can, we use alternative energy to power our factories to help reduce our impact on the environment.
